“One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” proverbs 19:24

Today, I hosted a few close friends, some whom I’ve known for over 20 years! We had what we called the ‘Gratitude Dinner’. We came together to reflect on God’s goodness over us and our families throughout the year and give Him thanks for all He has done. Even in the midst of various challenges we had faced this year and some very testing, we are still here to testify the to mercies and goodness of Jehovah!

Today, I am thankful for friendship. I am thankful for friends who have stuck closer than a brother. We might not see daily, and sometimes don’t speak for a while, but we never lose connection. I am thankful for friendship that accepts me for who I am, but still challenges me to be better; as a person and as a friend. I am thankful for such friendship that grows me, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

I am thankful for such friendships puts God in the centre of it all, who teaches, guides and grows us together beautifully.

Lord, I thank You and give You praise for every friendship connection you have blessed me with . I raise these to you today as a sweet smelling and pray it is acceptable in your presence.
